Futebol Brasil
Reinaldo, now 25, has been playing for Brazil since he was 17. He's been called the most intelligent footballer in Brazil, both on and off the pitch. This is a portrait of Reinaldo, of his team ATLÉTICO MINEIRO and of the good-natured, exuberant fans-among them Eni dos Santos. Eni is a beautiful dark-skinned girl who goes to all of Atletico's matches. Observing the passionate fervour she brings to her support for Reinaldo and his team-mates, one can see how Brazilians have almost made football into a religious cult.

Brian Cooke's acclaimed play of the cult 60s radio show that sent up the British establishment.

COMEDY Round the Horne... Revisited 9.10pm BBC4
Round the Horne is undoubtedly the most quotable and quoted radio show in history. From "Hello, my name's Julian, this is my friend Sandy" to Rambling Syd Rumpo "nadgering his artefacts", it's an absolute feast for anyone who loves clever comedy, but who above all loves words.
Though fans might yearn to see the real thing with more archive clips than there are here, this straightforward film of the West End hit Round the Horne ... Revisited will do quite nicely. The actors are spookily accurate in their re-creations of the fabulous cast of Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Hugh Paddick and Betty Marsden, though there are a few pointless forays into the outside world when the action leaves the stage.
And it will doubtless prompt any fan to think of their favourite ever line from the series. Mine's from the outrageously camp Julian, a practitioner of Bona Law, who tells Kenneth Horne in all innocence: "We've got a criminal practice that takes up most of our time." I don't know how they got away with it. (Alison Graham)
